Good Heavens! Demo Update v0.3.19 overhauls inventory and adds blueprints

Good Heavens! patch v0.3.19 introduces consumable recipe blueprints, a revamped 3-row inventory, and pants customization. It also locks out item bar interaction while chests or trading windows are open to prevent bugs.

Demo v0.3.19 for Good Heavens! restructures key inventory mechanics, removes dedicated hand equipment slots, and lays the groundwork for upcoming dungeon content.

Inventory and Equipment Changes

The inventory layout is reduced to three rows. The first row now mirrors the item bar on the HUD. Players can no longer interact with the item bar while inventories, chests, or trading windows are open. Hand equipment slots are removed; weapons and tools now deploy straight from the item bar. Pants slots are added for basic character customization.

Blueprints and Tooltips

Blueprints allow players to learn recipes directly from items, such as monster drops and quest rewards. These consumable items may carry tech requirements. Tooltips for items, recipes, and other systems receive ongoing readability and functional updates.

Display Settings

VSync is now enabled by default to mitigate screen tearing caused by varying GPU power and monitor refresh rates. Players can turn off VSync in the settings menu.

Behind the Scenes

Development continues on dungeons, day and night cycles, and multiplayer modes. A prototype dungeon was delayed to the next update, which will also introduce new monsters and puzzles.

Why this patch matters

This update makes inventory management tighter while adding VSync options and consumable recipe blueprints.
